John Kelly, a columnist for the Washington Post, is advocating that all gun purchases be co-signed as testimony that the new gun owner is not a “nut job.” I’m all for it. That way, no liberal would ever be able to buy a gun. Who will get to determine who’s

Liberals love to find conservative connections to despicable acts of violence. The Aurora, Colorado, shooting is no exception. But going back through the background of mass murderers, I’ve come up with a common denominator – they were all government educated. The 1999 Columbine shooters were products of the Colorado Public

One of the missing elements of the Aurora, Colorado, shooting spree was the apartment of James Holmes. There is an abundant amount of news coverage describing how it was wired with explosives. The first person who entered the room would have been killed. The police need to be commended for

For a number of years we’ve been hearing about the dreadful Law of the Sea Treaty, appropriately named LOST. It looks like the 2010 election scuttled attempts to make this horrendous treaty the law. We can thank Sen. Jim DeMint (R-SC) for leading the way on opposition to it as

What is the first principle of economics? Some economists will claim that it’s supply and demand, while others insist that it’s scarcity or the division of labor. The first principle of economics is “thou shalt not steal.” Economics is ethical before it is practical. Almost all modern definitions of economics,

Words change meaning over time. Consider the word ‘nice’: “Late 13c., ‘foolish, stupid, senseless,’ from Old French. nice ‘silly, foolish,’ from Latin. nescius ‘ignorant,’ lit. ‘not-knowing,’ from ne- ‘not’ (see un-) + stem of scire ‘to know’ [from which we get the word ‘science’]. . .” Today, ‘nice’ means to

By Kate Kicks, Townhall.com The following is excerpted from an article written by Kate Hicks at Townhall.com: Over, and over, and over, President Obama assured us that this was not a tax. He was not raising taxes on the middle class (that’s what the Republicans were doing, remember?). Nope, .

After the Supreme Court ruling on immigration, which upheld a key provision in the law, the Obama administration has declared war on Arizona. Arizona Sheriff Joe Arpaio told FOX News: “I’m not stopping anything. I’m going to continue to enforce those state laws regardless of what the federal government is

About 1000 delegates at the National Association of Latino Elected and Appointed Officials were having lunch when they heard a very odd request. “It’s very important that you use your utensils as soon as possible,” board member Raquel Regalado told the delegates at the group’s annual conference. It seems their utensils

Calls for Eric Holder’s resignation are foolish. Voters have short memories. What’s news today is forgotten in a week. By the time November rules around, most voters will be asking, “Eric who?” Eric Holder is the poster child for the legal corruption that is pervasive in the Obama Administration. As

For a number of years I have written on the ethical implications of evolution. If evolution is true, the atheistic variety, there are no moral absolutes. This is not to say that atheistic evolutionists are not moral. Many of them are just as moral as non-atheists. While they may be

There’s a scene in the film adaptation of John Grishman’s novel The Rainmaker where a letter is read at trial that was written by the vice president of the claims department of the Great Benefit Insurance Company to the mother of a child who was dying from Leukemia and needed

As I was channel surfing the other day and came across the film I, Robot (2004). I’ve seen the film at least ten times. It’s a marvelous commentary on the evils of political paternalism. One of my favorite scenes is when V.I.K.I., the super computer that runs every other computer

They started with salt and transfat. Now they’re going after 16-ounce drinks, but it won’t stop there. You can count on it. Prohibition didn’t work, and neither does the “war on drugs.” So don’t expect banning certain foods or large portions will make a dent in the battle over obesity.

Liberals have been pushing “pay equity” laws for some time. Many of them are already in effect. Pay equity would require employers to pay women what men receive if their educational standards, work experience, and time on the job are equal. “Equal pay for equal work,” as the saying goes.

There’s a lot at stake in this year’s election. I suspect that most people reading this column do not believe we have the ideal candidate. We don’t. Many are hoping against hope that Ron Paul is going to secure the nomination at the Republican convention since delegates are not legally

One way to gain attention for your cause is to claim that you are a victim.  Modern-day politics is all about victimhood. This group or that group is a victim of the majority. In order to protect the victimized class, new laws are written to turn any word or action

For centuries, millions of Europeans came to the United States to escape the oppression of tyrannical regimes. Others came for expanded economic opportunities. With the rise of Nazism in Germany, many Jews saw the handwriting on the wall and got out with their possessions before it became illegal to do
